(You may remember, I mentioned this movie before in my interview with screen-writer Cara J. Russell.)

Storyline: After four years of courting, Alyssa and Tucker are about to tie the knot. However, suddenly the usually easy going Tucker becomes obsessed with every minute detail of the wedding planning, confusing his friends and family with his high strung antics. Unbeknownst to Tucker, he has come down under the spell of his grandmother's very unique engagement ring....

Update: 'Do I Say I Do' was a working title for the newly titled movie 'Before You Say I Do'

Details via chicago3media: The film centers on popular author and relationship expert ‘Jessica Bender’ (Becca Tobin) who is looking forward to getting out from under her contract with Mike Pryce (Ryan Kelley), her publisher and ex-boyfriend. During the course of their enforced association, these exes begin to realize that they may still be deeply in love while at the same time, Jessica and her current admiring boyfriend ‘Dr. Stephen Howard’ (Griffin) are aiming to take their relationship to the next level.

*UPDATE: An Anonymous commenter below has shared this may not be a PixL movie based on where it is filming - so please know, we do not officially know where this one will be seen, yet. I received my information directly from IMDB - the Internet Movie Database, which does currently list this movie as a PixL TV Movie on their site. Also, the anonymous commenter mentioned the production company is a Canadian Company. They are exactly right - it is Lighthouse Pictures, and upon checking their other films, it looks like they produce mostly movies for the Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and Lifetime. So... Please keep a close eye here and stay tuned for more details on 'The Mechanics of Love'.

*UPDATE #2 (July, 2016): I have just learned from Anderson W., that Lighthouse Pictures has made a movie for PixL. They produced the newest PixL original movie 'Twist of Fate'. Anderson discovered this interesting news when watching the new movie recently. Lighthouse Pictures is shown at the beginning of the film and Larry Levinson's name is featured at the end.

Anderson was also so thoughtful to include these fantastic screen-shots:

Please note... whether, 'Mechanics of Love', ends up on PixL or Hallmark, is still unknown, however this certainly proves it could end up anywhere!

*UPDATE #3 (May 23, 2017): This movie - 'Mechanics of Love' - will premiere on PixL, after all! The premiere date is June 3, 2017! (Thank you, Gina, for sharing this news!)

credit: Thank you Gina for the wonderful pics for 'Late Bloomer' and 'Sisters of the Groom' and all the wonderful PixL movie information, including summaries for 'Groomzilla', 'Brimming with Love', 'Love on the Vines,' and updated info on 'Mechanics of Love.' And, thank you Sherry for your reminders on Jack Wagner in 'Love on the Vines', and Shenae Grimes Beech in 'Mechanics of Love.' I was excited to find these on-the-set pics!

These ALL look like some fun Made-for-TV movies - stay tuned for premiere dates!

Via PixL: Hopeless romantic Matt (Brandon W. Jones) decides it’s time to pop the big question to his girlfriend, Alexis (Cassi Thomson). Before the big evening he practices his proposal on his best friend, Liz (Christa B. Allen). Matt believes if he follows the rules of all of his favorite romantic comedies he’s guaranteed a “Yes!” To Matt’s dismay, Alexis gently rejects him stating he’s only interested in the idea of being in love and not a real relationship. After this unexpected disaster, Matt binge watches one rom-com after another and comes up with plan to win Alexis back. Though Liz thinks Matt’s plan is absurd she agrees to be his wingman. The operation to rekindle his relationship appears to be working only for Matt to face the reality that he and Alexis may have grown apart and his heart belongs elsewhere.

"J.L. Family Ranch" follows veteran rancher and former sheriff John Landsburg (Jon Voight), who is forced to face the federal bureaucracy when an old enemy, Tap Peterson (James Caan) seeking revenge over a decades-old grudge falsifies documents and alleges Landsburg doesn't actually own his beloved family ranch. John however isn't the type to go down without a fight.

Movie Review:

Not since J.R. and Dallas has TV seen a family like this.

Heritage, Loyalty, Heartbreak, Redemption… 'J.L. Family Ranch' is the epitome of Hallmark.

With an amazing all-star cast: Jon Voight, James Caan, Melanie Griffith, and more… you will be drawn in from the start. 'J.L. Family Ranch' has the feel of a modern day western meets country song.

Rich in history, the name 'J.L. Family Ranch' says it all. John Landsburg (Jon Voight), as the patriarch, is determined to care for his family and his ranch, every member and square inch of it. To the death, if necessary and it just might be necessary!

When a local rancher, Tap Peterson (James Caan), with a vendetta, schemes with local government bureaucrats to take over the Landsburg ranch, John, along with his daughters Rebecca (Teri Polo) and Regan (Abby Brammell), and troubled, but loyal son Brady (Trevor Donovan), do everything in their power to fight back. They are devoted to their father and their roots, and nothing sways them away – not money, temptations, or threats.

This movie has such an authentic feel, so real. Very true to our lives today, as it delves into government control, imminent domain, and our basic rights and freedoms.

If you love American history, the old west, or the countryside… if you believe in an honest day’s work, for an honest day’s pay… and the good ole USA, you will be riveted by Hallmark Movies and Mysteries’ 'J.L. Family Ranch'.

We just recently learned the cast list for an upcoming Hallmark movie that is currently filming - 'Managing Manhattan'! Please note- this is the current working title, so it may or may not be the same title when the movie premieres!

This will be Julianna Guill's first Hallmark movie. Julianna had a role in the recent blockbuster 'Captain America: Civil War'. You may recall Marc Bendavid from one of last years 'Countdown to Christmas' Movies - 'Angel of Christmas'.

The cast also includes these three ladies you will recognize from Hallmark movies... Vivica A. Fox, pictured above, from 'Farewell Mr. Kringle', 'Looking for Mr. Right', and more! Natasha Henstridge previously starred in 'A Christmas Song' and 'You Lucky Dog'. And, Marla Sokoloff starred in the Hallmark movies 'Flower Girl' and 'Gift of the Magi'.

'Managing Manhattan' Movie Synopsis:"Small-town clothing store manager TAYLOR McCALL (30) is called up to the big leagues to run a Manhattan clothing boutique after a chance encounter with ALYSSA SHAW (50), the founder of the famed New York store, A-Line. But the reality of big city life is more than Taylor bargained for -- she's overwhelmed by the crowds, the noise, the pace, the expense and the overall craziness of Manhattan.As Taylor slowly settles into life in New York City, she meets PHILIP (30), a realtor who clearly wants to be more than friends. But work is consuming all of Taylor's attention, as she strives to meet sales targets and live up to expectations.When Taylor makes a major misstep, everything in her exciting new life comes crashing down. To get it back, Taylor must combine her newly acquired New York street-smarts with a dash of wholesome Midwestern charm."

Also, in honor of Memorial Day, I would like to mention two of Disney's most patriotic films... 'Cadet Kelly', which honors our military, starring Haylie Duff and Christy Carlson Romano, and will air Monday May 30th at 11:55pm/10:55c. Then, there is 'Tiger Cruise', which can be seen next weekend on Sunday, June 5th at 2 am/1c. It is a remarkable movie that tells the story of 9/11, starring actress Hayden Panettiere.

National Memorial Day Concert 2016 airs on PBS

Sunday May 29, 2016 at 8pm/7c.

Repeats at 9:30pm/8:30c., 12am/11c., and 1:30am/12:30c.

Please check your local listings - as times may be different in your local area.

This is typically a very emotional and inspiring show, which honors our country and our military's sacrifice and service.

Patriotic & War Movies...

Over the course of Memorial Day weekend, these movies/specials can be seen - which give special tribute to our military...

TCM will be playing 'The Best Years of Our Lives', 'Glory', 'Where Eagles Dare', 'The Great Escape', 'The Guns of Navarone' and more.

TBN will be showing '25 Hill', 'Last Ounce of Courage' and 'Flag of my Father'.

INSP is playing on Monday special episodes of The Waltons and Western Dramas.

FX is showing 'Lone Survivor'. (Please note: I have not seen this movie. It is rated R by the MPAA for strong bloody war violence and pervasive language.)

*The movie '25 Hill' and The Waltons are appropriate for family viewing.

*Please know most of these other films are war movies and not suitable for young children. Furthermore, I have seen many, but not all of these movies listed. I have seen 'Glory', for instance, and it is a very intense war movie, with some very graphic war scenes. Just thinking about it, my heart goes out with great appreciation to all of our dear veterans who fought so hard to protect our freedoms today. It is important we all remember liberty and freedom isn't free.

On this Memorial Day Weekend, we remember all veterans with great honor and deep gratitude!

via savannahsunrisemovie.com: Straight-laced Joy Miles thinks she’s taking a simple road trip to move her free-spirited mother-in-law, Loraine, from Louisville to Savannah. Complete opposites, the two women manage to tolerate each other—barely. Joy is consumed with work, an impending deadline and a high-stakes project. Reluctantly, Loraine, now widowed, is taking the next step in life, moving to a retirement community, no longer a preacher’s wife, but a woman on her own. Her insights about life and family tend to get under Joy’s skin, especially since Loraine’s words make Joy take a hard look at her own whirlwind life, her priorities, and what is really important to her.

SSUN-Still073_Buick 4As the weekend unfolds, with its many adventures, hilarious encounters and heart-to-heart revelations, the women come to see each other through new, appreciative eyes. Mile after mile Joy’s true affections for Loraine start to surface. She takes a front-seat-view of how this strong-willed woman is managing the emotional transition of learning to live life after losing her spouse. And despite their many differences, with light-hearted escapades at every turn, they discover how much they respect, and even need, each other.
